Imperfectbodies Women's Circle

A few months ago, I felt a deep calling to begin a support group for women. At that time, I did not know how I would go from concept to reality. I did, however, know that it was a dream that I had to pursue regardless of the outcome. In this week’s newsletter, I share my big news: the launch of the Imperfectbodies Women’s Circle.

?Here is a little background on why I was inspired to start this circle. The seed was planted as I was healing from a traumatic event myself. As I struggled to get on my feet in every way possible, I felt so grateful for my support system. I was and still am especially appreciative of the women in my life who stood by me without judgment, curiosity, or unsolicited advice. The more thankful I was for this group, the more I realized that every woman deserves such a tribe. And that was the beginning of the women’s circle in my head and heart.

?The women in my world never fail to inspire me or to think bigger. At the same time, they remind me that as much as we do it all, we are still human. We can be strong and still need support, compassion, and hope. We are naturally resilient, but when surrounded by other women, we become powerhouses and real-life wonder women. I know firsthand what supportive women can do for one’s self-esteem, happiness, and overall well-being.

?For the last several months, this idea has taken hold of me where I wanted to create a safe space for women to connect and lean on each other. As much as I am excited about it and feel a deep connection to the conception, I am also afraid. I worry that nobody will show up to the circles, and the entire idea will be an epic failure. These fears are always followed by one thought: my desire to make a difference is far greater than the sum total of my fears. No matter what happens, I am willing to share my vulnerabilities through this newsletter and the women’s circle.

?I have loved and nourished this seed for months, and I am finally ready to lay down the roots. This is a platform where women do not need to feel invisible. It is meant to be a space where, as women, we embrace and give kindness; where we believe in others and vice versa; where we accept that we are more than our problems, circumstances, diagnosis, and society’s conception of us. Why? Because we are deserving of it all, but we need to have the fire within us to appreciate our worth.

I have compiled a list of questions and answers pertaining to the circle. Whether this gets you excited or not, please take a moment to think of anybody who may benefit from it and pass it along. This group is open to anyone who identifies as female and is 18 or older.

?What is the Impefectbodies Women’s Circle??

It is a place for women to feel supported, heard, and loved. The purpose is to share our stories and learn from them to elicit compassion, courage, and mindfulness towards ourselves and others. It is a safe space to listen to our peers’ journeys of self-discovery and exploration to aid in our healing and transformation.?

?What is my purpose of starting the women’s circle??

This circle is in honor of every woman that wants to be seen, heard, and loved through unconditional support, trust, and compassion. In a small and humble way, this circle is my way of creating a haven for women to lean on and learn from each other. My ultimate hope and purpose of starting the circle is that we, collectively, embrace our well-being through self-love and self-care.???

?What is the flow of the circle??

Each circle will take on its own meaning and essence. Nevertheless, every circle will include a check-in, brief meditation, and close out. With time, women guest speakers with inspiring stories and/or in the realm of wellness and healing will join our circle.??
